I guess some people are waiting until they see all 14 of the races for this new game, and that makes a lot of sense. Who knows, maybe the next race that is revealed will become my new favorite!

But as of now, let's look at our options and begin the fun process of debate, coercion, bribery, and analysis!

Given our choices so far, there are some clear leaders for me. I realize there will be different taste and ideas, and it's our job to find the choices that will appeal to the most people...

We have a lot of choices already (11 as of Thursday, Jan 22) and when we are thinking about which three too choose, a few factors need to be considered.

1) What is the theme of the game? Based on the pictures and the words that come with them, I would guess that this game kind of toung-in-cheek and has a lot of comedy. If that's the case, a top choice might be the race that makes one laugh the most (maybe the Elves, the Tritons with their nipple guards, the Wizards with their book for dummies and the Giants with the man on their shoe!)

2) Which picture (artwork) do you like the best? If you base your choice based only on the picture they give us, you might choose the Sorcerers, the Ghouls, or the Orcs.

3) If this is a game of survival-of-the-fittest, you might choose the race that looks the most likely to survive or dominate the others. You might choose the Amazons, Orcs, Skeletons, or Halflings because they all look ready for any other race.

4) In the end, it's just going to be the one you like the best and if you vote early you'll have to hope other people agree.

For me, it comes down to several factors including art, strength of arms, comedy and general appeal.
